RCS on Samsung Messages?

[buggyglint]

Hello! 

Does anyone know if RCS works on Public with Samsung Messages on the s10/s20 series phones? I know it works with Google Messages.

Thanks!

Thank you, I understand this, I have been using RCS for years now on a Pixel 4 XL with Google Messages. I just wondered if it was enabled for Samsung Messages on the Public mobile network.

You should have no problem with RCS on the Samsung phones you mentioned.  Here is an article confirming the Samsung messaging app compatibility with RCS.

@buggyglint , RCS has been rolled out very extensively in Canada.  Samsung was a leading partner with Google.  The phones you mentioned will work with RCS.  The key is having the latest text app installed and enabling RCS.  Here is an article explaining how RCS is replacing the old SMS protocol.

There was a thread about it.
